  I have 4.....its hard haha and I'm only 3 weeks into it.  Honestly if I didn't have a FULLY involved husband it wouldn't be do-able in my opinion!  But I do think I could do 3 with less help!

  I don't think it is hard at all but I started off with twins so maybe that is why!  I am firm believer once you can handle two, you can handle anything!

  I don't think it is that hard.  I have plenty of days that are very tough, but plenty where it is smooth sailing all day.  I love having 3.

  My husband is very hands-on (when he is home...) and we hire help.

  So far, not much more difficult than two.  It helps that we have an easy baby.  Hopefully it stays this way.

  I know I'm chiming in late, but I totally think it all depends on the children, activities, lifestyle, etc.

  For us, having the 3rd and dealing with the baby stuff isn't that hard, but the logistics of 3 (in my opinion....) is very hard.

  I work part-time and my DH works full time (with very long hours). Our sitter's car cannot fit 3 seats in her car, so that is a real challenge. My mom can fit 3 in her car, but she has a big console in between her bucket seats in row 2, so getting someone in row 3 is difficult, etc.

  DS1 and DS2 are very active, have lots of playdates, go to a lot of parties, etc. so the logistics of taking 3 kids places is hard. Also, you can't go grocery shopping or out that often with 3.....not because you can't but because in all honesty, I feel like the world is not made for families with 3+ kids.

  We have A LOT of help. I could never do this without our families. My mom is here at least 3 times a week and my MIL is here whenever we need her.

  Again, I don't think it is hard dealing with the 3rd.....it is just getting around that is hard
